Free edWebinar – “Dilemma Discussions and Museum Resources: Bringing Students Face-to-Face with History”

Discussing the dilemmas that historical figures faced can give students new perspectives and fresh insights into key periods in our nation’s history. In this edWebinar, attendees will learn how exploring human elements and personal stories in primary sources and curated museum exhibits enrich dilemma discussions, giving students authentic connections to the decisions that often changed the course of history.

Codie Eash, Director of Education and Museum Operations at Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center in Gettysburg, and Sharon Jackson Tice, a social studies teacher at Downingtown Middle School in Southeastern Pennsylvania, will showcase how virtual museum tours, digital resources, maps, artifacts, and the stories of 19th-century soldiers, civilians, doctors, and nurses ignite understanding of the issues and dilemmas that impacted the lives and the outcome of the Civil War.

This edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, social studies department chairs, curriculum leaders and directors, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. Digital program demonstrations and supplemental materials will be provided.
